Data modeling tool in modern data stack:
dbt->popular, for analytics engineers, support version control of SQL, support extension through jinja, support collaboration between analytics engineers.

We love "Everything as Code" things, especially #databaseascode But on the other hand, the No Code movement is also gaining popularity, and it's great. One of these tools is QuickTable by @RandZhang and this repo contains a lot of interesting resources https://t.co/EQAk2kseAi

@GraminMaksim We have been building https://t.co/LOLSSpmpJI to become a really no-code awesome database tool. Thanks to @GraminMaksim put QuickTable into https://t.co/hfaYC1Dw5U

Recently, I talked with a data team leader of a healthcare startup. He is hesitant to export data from MySQL to Snowflake because the cost of Snowflake is a bit high for his company. Does anyone also concern about the cost of Snowflake?

Hot discussion on reddit about dbt: Why does dbt have so much hype/metions in this

@BigramPoetry @ML_Tweet_Bot Interesting

[Rand @RandZhang]

dbt makes data engineers more productive, while https://t.co/LOLSSpmpJI enables self-service for non-technical people in data warehouses and lakes. That enables data engineers to focus on fundamental data works rather than endless tedious data requirements.

[Rand @RandZhang]

@tunguz Right. But how many money can make it mature?

Using QuickTable to parse the JSON column of CSV file without writing any code and translate these transformations to SQL dialects for Snowflake and SparkSQL step-by-step #tweet100

Using QuickTable with Snowflake. Work on your big data interactively without long waiting. #data #dataanalysis #tweet100

If you have no idea about SQL, you also can create these joins easily. Even if you still don’t understand these joins, you can use the tool to explore and learn about them. https://t.co/jaL0DCpdWt

Drag and Drop blocks to create data flow assumes that the data schema tells all you need to handle data. However, there are many exceptions and errors in data. The whole data is visible at any time is critical for efficient and high-quality data works.

From my post feedback from reddit, I found more users using Azure than those using AWS to run their data stack. #tweet100 #data

https://t.co/LOLSSpDsLI support handling 1 GB dataset like in spreadsheet like UI and get any transformation results in seconds. However, we have an user said he thought 5GB is at least. I believe there are much potential for to support larger data. For me, 1 TB is milestone.

[Rand @RandZhang]

@vrk7here Thanks for your great suggestions We are trying to make onboarding more easily.Your suggestion is a real good idea, I will think how to add "how to" tutorial.

[Rand @RandZhang]

Many #DataAnalysts think the idea of https://t.co/LOLSSpDsLI is awesome.

Dose anyone think tranlsating Excel formulas to SQL is a good idea?

[Rand @RandZhang]

@LamersFemke @chidambara09 @APH020 But in reality, the big data means out of control for many companies.

[Rand @RandZhang]

SQL may have many problems, but it is a de facto standard for data works. Inventing a new language to replace SQL may like create a new keyboard to replace the QWERTY keyboard. To improve the UX on handling data, we need something like the mouse and the touch screen.
